Abstract

A unique previously unreported injury is described, namely the avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament from its femoral attachment, as an isolated injury. The mechanism of injury, i.e., hyperextension, is also unique although it is one that is commonly experienced by riders attempting to start their motorcycles.
